Well its the day after the weekend before and cub camp is now just a memory. Hope the pictures give a good idea of what a great weekend we had. Like all camps we went into it with a plan and as the weekend unfolded the events took on their own momentum. The weather was extremely hot and we got through twice as much juice as usual, we also had to make a trip to a shop to buy more lunch items for the sunday because they had eaten so much on the saturday. After a short walk on the saturday afternoon we treated everyone to a lollie and a chill out under the shade of a tree. The tents where dropped and packed away before breakfast on the sunday because doing it later in the day would have been difficult due to the heat.
We currently have a lovely group of kids, they are a pleasure to spend time with. They work hard when we need them to and play well together when they get some free time. Their attittude could not be better - they love adventure and enjoy trying new things.
Thanks you for a very enjoyable weekend.

Cubs cook breakfast
They survived
pine cones (dropping from the trees) in there quest to spend a night
under the stars. (the 11th cub was still fast asleep when this picture
was taken)
Parents - don't panic
wide-games), but with such hot weather we gave the cubs the
opportunity to sleep under a big sheet hung between some trees -
however some of them asked if they could sleep under the stars. At bed
time 5 cubs went under the sheet and everyone else set there bed in a
clearing. Then the midges arrived (millions of them - forest camp is
renowned for them) - one by one cubs decided that the midges were to
annoying so they went back to the sheet shelter - by 10.30pm there
were only 11 hard core cubs plus baloo and cheryl left). Sleeping
under the stars was an impromptu adventure suggested by the cubs -
with such wonderful weather (and monster midges) it turned into an
adventure that those 11 cubs will never forget.
Gross
catches the foods and allows the liquid to soak into the ground - its also
where we spit when we clean our teeth)
Baloo's home
to lazy to put a tent up (you decide)

Feeding time at the zoo
got a really big appetite this weekend). Where using the same
quantities we always use but because of the weather their working up a
bigger appitie. Looks like a trip to the shop will be required later.
Chill time
This morning has been really chilled out. The cubs are currently
relaxing before lunch. Some working on a monster shelter, some
creating their own adventure amongst the trees and bushes, others just
sitting around chilling out. The mood in camp is very relaxed, the
weather is very hot and the behaviour of the cubs is excellent.
Children being allowed to just be children, creating adventures,
inventing games and exploring the safe environment that is forest
camp. More pictures coming soon.
